How to disable protection in contact. Recover by email
We have already talked about hacking a VKontakte page (see how to hack a VKontakte page). Attackers can find out your login and guess your password (see how to find out your password if you know your VKontakte login). And then they will be able to visit your page.
To prevent this from happening, VKontakte was introduced additional measure security - double authorization (two-factor). The meaning of this function is that after entering your login and password, you also need to indicate the secret code received via SMS or other means. Thus, the likelihood of hacking is reduced significantly. Even if attackers know your credentials, they won't have the code to log into the page.
Now I will show you how to activate double authorization on VKontakte and set up an application for generating codes.
How to enable two-factor authentication on VKontakte?
Go to your page and go to the “Settings” section.
Open the “Security” tab. Here in the “Login Confirmation” section, click the “Connect” button.
A form will open - in it, click the “Proceed with configuration” button.
You will be asked to re-enter the password for the page (see how to change the password in a contact). Do this and click the "Confirm" button.
Receive the code on your phone and enter it in the form. Then click the "Submit Code" button.
Setting up an application for generating codes
The next step is setting up the application to generate codes. You are offered to install an application that will allow you to generate login codes, even without a network connection cellular communications.
Use Google Authenticator for iPhone and Android smartphones. And Authenticator - for phones in Windows Phone. Install the appropriate application on your gadget.
This is what the window with the QR code looks like, and secret code in VK.
Now run installed application, and scan the specified code.
Now paste the received code from the application and click the “Confirm” button.
The code generation application has been successfully configured!
You will be taken to the Security tab. Now you can do the following operations here.
- Change your phone number (see how to unlink a number from a VK page);
- Show a list of backup codes;
- Set up an application for generating codes;
- Configure app passwords;

VKontakte login confirmation
So, the next update is the “Login Confirmation” function and today we will do it full review. We'll tell you how it works, how to enable it, configure it or disable it.
Each registered user wants to save his personal data, which is used when logging in, and does not want his personal documents (photos, correspondence, etc.) to become public. This is why the developers of the social network are doing everything to prevent this from happening.
What is login confirmation
Login confirmation provides an additional level of protection for your VKontakte page from hacking. When using this function to access the page from unregistered browsers and devices, in addition to the password, you will need to enter a security code.
The code can be obtained using the phone number linked to your page.
Attention! When login confirmation is enabled, the password recovery service by phone number becomes unavailable. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you attach a current e-mail to the page, indicate your true first and last name, and upload your real photos as the main ones before continuing with the setup.
How to connect login confirmation to VK
To enable this option, you will need to go to the “Settings” menu item and there, on the “General” tab, find the “Your Page Security” section.
By clicking on the “Connect” button, you will see system window, where you will need to click “Go to settings”. Next, the system will ask you to confirm your action by entering a password:
By entering your password and clicking on the “Confirm” button, you will launch this option. But, do not forget that after connecting it, one mobile number for password recovery will not be enough. You will need to submit your application for consideration by moderators.
If you have any questions, ask them on our vk.com forum and our moderators will answer you as soon as possible!

Double authorization or VK page security
In 2014 social network VKontakte has introduced two-factor authentication. What is this? This additional remedy security - in addition to authorization using a login and password, you must enter a code that will be sent to the phone number associated with your account. Even if an attacker has data from your page, he will not be able to get into it.
How to activate two-factor authentication?
Click “My Settings” and select the “Security” tab. Here you will see the subsection “Login Confirmation” and the inscription: “Provides reliable protection from hacking: to enter the page you must enter a one-time code received via SMS or other connected method.” Click on the “Connect” button.
A window will appear that describes some situations. For example, if two-factor authentication is enabled, then password recovery by number becomes unavailable and the administration strongly recommends linking a current email address to the page. If you are satisfied with everything, click on the “Proceed with setup” button.
Enter the password for the page.
Enter the confirmation code and click “Send code”.
The function is enabled. Place a checkmark next to “Remember” current browser", so as not to enter the code on this computer every time, then click on the "Finish setup" button.
How to disable two-factor authentication?
Still in the same “Security” section, click on the “Disable login confirmation” button.
Enter the password for the page.
Why is quick password recovery not available to me?
How to log into the VKontakte website if you have forgotten your password and login protection is enabled (login confirmation)? You are trying to restore access, but you receive an error message:
Quick password recovery is not available. Your page has mobile phone login confirmation enabled.
Or this:
Unfortunately, you cannot recover your password by the specified number phone.
Or another option:
Error. This function is not possible for this page.
This means that once before you yourself enabled login confirmation by mobile phone, when to enter the page you need to enter not only a password, but also a code sent to your phone:
When is entry protection set? (two-factor authentication), this increases security and protects against hacking, but you forgot your password. What to do? It is now impossible to receive a recovery code on your phone because login confirmation- this is when you know the password and have access to the phone. Both together. This is the only way to ensure security, which you yourself voluntarily turned on. It is no longer possible to restore a page with only a phone number if you do not know the password. The VK website warned you about everything, but you didn’t read when you turned on the protection. Maybe that's why you feel like you weren't warned.
Attention! Here are absolutely all the ways you have in 2019. It's no use looking for anything else or asking in the comments. Only you can restore access yourself. Read to the end and do as written. Blue links take you to other pages that will help you.
How can I now recover my password and access to the page?
1. Recover by email
If you have additional login confirmation enabled, then instead of quick password recovery via SMS, password recovery via e-mail is used ( e-mail). Is your page linked to email? If yes, then you can request a link to reset your password. (instructions will open in a new window). It may turn out that the page is linked to the mail, but you cannot enter the mail (you don’t have access or you simply don’t remember it) - in this case, it is better to try to first restore access to the mail, otherwise you will be left with the only way, it is more complex and requires much more time - recovery through support.
2. Restore via support
When login confirmation is enabled, but you forgot your password and the page is NOT linked to an email (or you don’t have access to your email, or you don’t remember the address), the only way to restore the page is technical support request. This link will open an access restoration form that must be filled out. It's better to do this from a computer rather than from a phone. Look detailed instructions Here:
If it doesn’t work, do it through the full version on your computer.
You will have to prove that the page is yours. If your real photos are not there or your real name and surname are not indicated, then it is almost impossible (or very difficult) to restore the page. After all, you were warned about everything when you turned on the login protection. You can see why an application might be rejected. Of course, there is an opportunity to contact VK support and try to prove in some way that the page is yours. If they see you normal person and that the page is really yours, they can meet you halfway. If even then nothing works out, register a new page in VK. This is a lesson for the future.
Why can’t I recover my password via SMS if login confirmation is enabled?
Because you yourself enabled TWO-Factor (TWO-Step) authentication, and now you want to reset your password with only ONE factor (phone). But it doesn't work that way. Should have read the warning. We described all the ways to reset a password in this situation above, there are only two of them.
I have backup codes, why can’t I recover my password using them?
Because backup codes, which you wrote out or printed, are needed when there is no access to the phone— that is, when you cannot receive an SMS to log in. And you don't have password, you forgot him. In this case, the backup code will not help.
There is no way to restore it anymore!
There are no other ways to restore access. There is no use looking for them. That is, there is no other way to restore it at all. You just read everything possible ways. , if you don't understand.
Is it possible to disable login confirmation?
Of course you can. But to do this you must first go to the page. And if you can’t do this yet, then you can’t disable login confirmation either. Restore access as written above.

The reset will also complete active sessions and remove application passwords.
Click on the “reset” button if you want to reset them. The message “Codes on other devices have been reset” will appear.
In order to disable login confirmations, you need to click on the corresponding button on the security tab.
You will have to enter the current password for your VK page. If you make a mistake when entering, the message “Invalid password specified.” will appear. You can always set a new one. As soon as you enter the correct password, the login confirmation function will be disabled.
Now let's talk about the activity history. Activity history shows information about from which devices and at what time you entered the site. If you suspect that someone has gained access to your profile, you can stop this activity at any time.
Accordingly, if you suspect that you forgot to log out of VKontakte at a friend’s house or that someone else is using your page, then it’s easy to check and with one click log out of all pages except the one that is open in your browser.
Click on the “show activity history” button and if you see logins from other browsers and IPs, then you should click on the “end all sessions” button and change the password for the page:
And the last line of defense is the protection of transmitted data:
If you are using a public Wi-Fi network or are not sure about the reliability of the connection, then simply check the box - “Always use a secure connection (HTTPS)” and click on the “save” button.
Connection by secure protocol means that all your data is transmitted in encrypted form, so that attackers cannot intercept it. A secure connection must be enabled when using unreliable communication channels, such as free or public WiFi networks. Attention! A secure connection can slow down the site, so it should only be used on unsecured networks.
These are, in principle, all the security settings that VKontakte offers us. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments.
